After selecting the project and the edition, the table opens, containing number of pages, relative number of a page (if total number of pages and pagination do not match up), sections, subjects, number of ads assigned to the page, code of the user (graphic designer) working on the page, label showing whether the photos are sent to the processing and the page status (whether is open, in the work, in the PDF...).
Below the table there are menus for work with the pages, statuses, control of the page before making the PDF, and menus for work with global.
Open - open marked pages (wait a few moments for page to fully load before you start working) | |
Close - closing the page (if the page is not saved the InDesign will ask whether you want to save it) | |
Save - saving the page - used during the work to enable the information to get through the system (e.g. after the photo is sent to a processing) | |
Save Close - use arrows to change the status of the page after finishing the work (e.g. from WRK status to RDY) |

Create new spread - enables creating the new spread. It opens in the new window within which you define the section and insert the pages into, number of pages that are inserted, which page is the first, whether it’s left or right, if there is a subject type in the name and define whether the original page from which they’re to be created is a blank template or the active document. At the end there is an option to copy the merged articles together with the links, and it’s used for work in InCopy After inserting the new pages they are shown in the table but with the incorrect page numbers. You can see the same also through the Press module of the StoryEditor where the system warns you on the incorrect pagination. Refresh the Absolute Page No. and Page No. to Display in the Press module to correct the pagination. After refreshing, the page numbers are displayed correctly both in the StoryEditor and the StoryLink. |
